I need you like the forest needs a fire
I need to leave it for a minute until I miss it
I need to know that I still know the line that separates what I'm missing from what I don't want
What I need's a new state of mind
-That pushes me aside
That pushes you aside and out of my sight

If it was easy then I guess we wouldn't be here
With this common ghost that we both carry around
I don't see you now
Let's numb our senses to the sound

Of doors closing behind us and stepping out into the rain
As if four years weren't a waste
I guess it's fair to say
We could've never have expected better endings

I need you like the morning needs the light
Or at least I did
We were staying up so as not to miss it
We separate, we sit there, we're happy
Now I think of what I'm missing
This isn't what I want, nor what I needed
How did we get here though
I was a kid not long ago

If it weren't so hard I wouldn't be here
With this common ghost that we both carry around
I don't need you now
Let's numb our senses to the sound

Of doors closing behind us and stepping out into the rain
As if four years weren't a waste
I guess it's fair to say
We could've never have expected better endings

'How did we get here though'
If truth be told it's whatever so I'll keep this brief
Just close the door before you leave
